The Second International Conference on Intelligent Systems for Molecular
Biology will take place at Stanford University in the San Francisco Bay
Area, August 14-17, 1994. The ISMB conference, held for the first time
last summer in Bethesda, MD, attracted an overflow crowd, yielded an
excellent offering of papers, invited speakers, posters and tutorials,
provided an exciting opportunity for researchers to meet and exchange
ideas, and was an important forum for the developing field. We will
continue the tradition of pre-published, rigorously refereed proceedings,
and opportunities for fruitful personal interchange.
The conference will bring together scientists who are applying the
technologies of advanced data modeling, artificial intelligence, machine
learning, probabilistic reasoning, massively parallel computing, robotics,
and related computational methods to problems in molecular biology. We
invite participation from both developers and users of any novel system,
provided it supports a biological task that is cognitively challenging,
involves a synthesis of information from multiple sources at multiple
levels, or in some other way exhibits the abstraction and emergent
properties of an "intelligent system." The four-day conference will
feature introductory tutorials (August 14), presentations of original
refereed papers and invited talks (August 15-17).
Paper submissions should be single-spaced, 12 point type, 12 pages
maximum including title, abstract, figures, tables, and bibliography with
titles. The first page should include the full postal address, electronic
mailing address, telephone and FAX number of each author. Also, please
list five to ten keywords describing the methods and concepts discussed
in the paper. State whether you wish the paper to be considered for oral
presentation only, poster presentation only or for either presentation
format. Submit 6 copies to the address below. For more information,
please contact ismb at camis.stanford.edu.
Proposals for introductory tutorials must be well documented, including
the purpose and intended audience of the tutorial as well as previous
experience of the author in presenting such material. Those considering
submitting tutorial proposals are strongly encouraged to submit a one-page
outline, before the deadline, to enable early feed-back regarding topic
and content suitability. The conference will pay an honorarium and
support, in part, the travel expenses of tutorial speakers.
Limited funds are available to support travel to ISMB-94 for those students,
post-docs, minorities and women who would otherwise be unable to attend..
Please submit papers and tutorial proposals to:
